As the top officer of the Natal garrison, Fang Lang still has a huge influence in the local area even after the end of martial law.
Therefore, it is impossible and they dare not offend Fang Lang. Besides, they have now opened a sugar factory and a tannery with the help of Fangyuan Group.
They had no time to curry favor with a partner who could make them money, so how could they possibly offend Fang Lang!
Speaker Brooke also quickly expressed his position:
"Colonel Fang, please rest assured that even if martial law ends in Natal, we will still be steadfast and continue to advance in accordance with the development plan you have set for us.
Be sure not to let your efforts go in vain. "
This statement surprised Fang Lang, but at the same time he was very pleased. It showed that at least he recognized Fang Lang's plan for Natal.
"Haha. Then I feel relieved. I hope that under the leadership of the two of us, Natal will get better and better in the future and become the third largest city in Brazil after Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo."
Fang Lang said his beautiful words without blushing.
When the other two heard this, their expressions were also quite wonderful. Mayor Dursley's face turned slightly flushed, whether from excitement or shyness.
After finishing his praise, Fang Lang also started talking about today's topic.
"Now that Mr. President has been sworn in, and you have become the new mayor and speaker through re-election, all political work in Natal will be officially transferred to the two starting from today.
However, I have two things to ask of you.
First of all, Fangyuan Group’s investment in Natal will continue. I hope to get your full support. Believe me, this will also bring you good political achievements. "
After listening to Fang Lang's words, the two nodded repeatedly. Of course they would not refuse anyone who wanted to invest in their territory.
"Secondly, regarding the resettlement of Chinese immigrants, I hope that both of them will also take on corresponding responsibilities. Natal is still a small city, and if you want to develop industry, you cannot lack a population.
My hometown is very chaotic now, so we will definitely continue to immigrate to Brazil, of which Rio Grande do Norte will be an important destination. I hope you two can treat my compatriots well.
Can provide convenience for their life in Brazil. "
The two looked at each other and expressed their opinions one after another, saying there was no problem.
"In return, I will establish a civil airport in Natal and allocate a runway from the Natal Naval Base to serve as a civilian airport runway in Natal. If you are interested, you can also participate."
This news is obviously very sudden. Once the Natal Naval Base allocates a runway as a civil aviation runway, it means that the Natal Naval Base will become a dual-use airport for both military and civilian purposes.
Natal's traffic conditions will be improved as never before. Now the two have understood the importance of traffic through the improvement of roads in Natal's urban area.
Naturally, they understood what it would mean once this air route was opened. After looking at each other, the two quickly expressed their gratitude and expressed their willingness to participate.
As for turning the airport that the navy remembered into a dual-use airport, Fang Lang felt that there would be no problem after applying to Mr. President.
After all, this airport was originally left by the Americans, and the naval base does not need such a large airport. At the same time, most of the aircraft of the aircraft carrier formation use this airport occasionally.
At the same time, this is also Fang Lang's attempt to enter the civil aviation market.
Natal's geographical location is very advantageous. Once it becomes a civilian airport, many flights from the United States to Africa may choose to stop here because of flight problems and need to rest and refuel midway.
There are no particularly developed countries in Africa and there are not many flights, but the whole of Africa is a very huge market. By then, just providing services to these aircraft will be able to support the airport.
Don't underestimate the airport service company. The supply of fuel, maintenance, food, etc. is not a small business.
After a simple negotiation, several people quickly reached an agreement that the airport will be operated by Fangyuan Group, which owns 51% of the company's shares.
The two companies together hold 10% of the shares, and the remaining 39% belongs to the naval base.
As the person in charge of the naval base, Fang Lang is equivalent to controlling 90% of the shares of the airport service company. Even if he retires in the future, Fangyuan Group will still have absolute controlling interest in Natal Airport.
The handover of the work went smoothly and everyone's interests were aligned.
After leaving the city hall, Fang Lang visited the Brazilian Development Bank opposite the city hall and the office building of the Rio Grande do Norte Texas Police Headquarters next to the bank.
Because the development of the automobile industry did not use the gold shipped back from Japan this time, Fang Lang saw the gold bricks that had been resmelted in the bank's vault.
The dazzling golden light almost blinded Fang Lang's eyes for a moment, and he began to think about how much he would gain from going to Germany this time.
In the bank's office, Fang Lang had an explanation with his father, and arranged for his assistant to start registering an airport service company, a small arms manufacturing company and an aircraft manufacturing company, as well as establishing a bauxite development company that was negotiating with the Ministry of Energy and Mines. .
At the same time, after checking the map, Fang Lang discussed with his father Fang Xinshan to build a large electrolytic aluminum factory in Natal. The reason was very simple.
Because on the other side of Natal is Guinea, the world's largest bauxite producer, Fang Lang plans to establish a joint venture with the government in the future to go abroad and mine bauxite in Guinea, process it, and then sell it abroad.
Perhaps with Fang Lang's intervention, this electrolytic aluminum factory will become one of the world's top aluminum suppliers.
The electrolytic aluminum plant consumes a lot of electricity, and Fang Lang had to consider whether it was necessary to urge the government to build a power station in Natal.
Although Natal has a dry climate and is not very rich in water resources, it is located right on the right bank of the Potenz River. It is indeed the first choice for building a hydropower station in a place with a river that lacks electricity.
Therefore, Fang Lang had to find Mayor Dursley and Speaker Brooke again. When they heard that the government was required to fund the construction of a hydropower station on the Poteng River, they didn't know how to answer for a while.
However, considering that Natal will become an industrial city in the future, power resources are indeed very important. After consultation, it was finally decided that the Natal City Government would submit an application to build a hydropower station to the Brazilian Ministry of Energy and Mines.
As for whether they can get approval, both of them expressed that they were not sure. This put Fang Lang in a dilemma. If Natal did not have enough electricity by then, the electrolytic aluminum factory would not be able to open.
It's not that Fang Lang hasn't considered financing the construction of a hydropower station himself, it's that the investment cost of a hydropower station is too high. In addition to the cost of building dams, generating units, etc., he also has to consider compensation for the flooded land upstream. This is an astronomical figure.
Fortunately, the electrolytic aluminum factory is not in a hurry, after making arrangements for the bauxite development company.
Finally, Fang Lang, accompanied by his assistants, met with engineers from the automotive industry who were transiting in Natal by plane from Germany, and expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the engineers.
We encourage everyone to start over in a new environment and a new country, and promise to bring all their families to Brazil to reunite with them in the future, and to ensure the safety of their families in Germany while everyone is in Brazil.
We also made meticulous arrangements for the working and living environment of these corporate engineers in Brazil to ensure that everyone has a comfortable working environment.
Of course, the destination of these engineers is not Natal. After all, Natal is now very poor. Apart from being able to provide some leather materials and rubber raw materials needed for cars, it does not have the environment to set up a factory.
According to Fang Lang’s plan, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche will be mainly distributed in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, while Fang Lang’s Aston Martin factory is planning to be located in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
Mainly because Rio Grande do Sul is the area with the highest concentration of Chinese in Fang Lang's future planning. He also hopes that the Chinese in the future can also cultivate
Excellent automotive engineer.
Another important reason is that Porto Alegre, together with Sao Paulo, covers the real low-altitude essence of Brazil and is also the largest automobile consumer market in Brazil.
After arranging work in Brazil, Fang Lang took a special plane again and set off for Germany.
This time when Fang Lang came to Germany, the treatment was completely different from the first time. Adjutant Qi Qingshan drove the car directly to the apron of the airport. After receiving Fang Lang, the vehicle drove directly out of the airport without even a security check. , and was taken to the hotel where I originally lived.
After returning to Germany, Fang Lang's biggest concern was obviously the latest situation of the treasure, so as soon as he returned to the hotel room, Fang Lang listened to Qi Qingshan's latest report on Paul and Leo's surveillance.
"Boss, our personnel currently monitoring Paul and Leo have discovered their treasure hiding place. Recently, the guy named Paul left Stuttgart alone, and our personnel discovered that he went all the way south to Schaffhausen, Switzerland."
Hearing this situation, Fang Lang fell into deep thought. What was the purpose of this guy going to Switzerland?
The first reaction is to transfer this wealth to Switzerland, because only in this way can these wealth be converted into real money.
But if you want to transport such a large amount of wealth, it is very unsafe to travel a distance of more than 200 kilometers. How can he guarantee that they can reach Switzerland safely?
If not to transfer wealth to Switzerland, what was the purpose of his trip?
It’s impossible to bring in more people to share the wealth, right?
"Did he go alone? Was there anyone else with him, or did he bring any other items?"
"Before heading to Switzerland, he went to a treasure trove and came out with a backpack. Based on the weight of the bag, we analyzed that he should have taken out some valuables or gold.
Boss, look, now that we have discovered their treasure hiding place, why don’t we just go ahead and rob them of their things? Otherwise, if he moved things away like ants, wouldn't we get it? "
Qi Qingshan's idea is very simple. Since he already knows the location of the treasure, what else is there to say? He will just finish the rescue. If he waits, he may have long nights and dreams.
